Heart of Virginia Aviation and Tecnam Aircraft working through the Virginia Aeronautical Historical Society enable the resumption of the Virginia Department of Aviation Ambassadors Awards

Heart of Virginia Aviation Inc (HOVA), a highly respected full service FBO operating out of Hanover County and Farmville airports in Virginia and Tecnam Aircraft (Tecnam) a world leader in the conception, design and manufacture of Light Sport and other fully certified aircraft for the last 60 years, is pleased to announce that they have provided funding to the Virginia Aeronautical Historical Society (VAHS) to make a grant to the Virginia Department of Aviation thereby enabling the resumption of their very enable popular and innovative Aviation Ambassador Awards.
 
HOVA (www.flyhova.com), and Tecnam (www.tecnamaircraft.com) believe that Light Sport is going to be the catalyst that will help re-ignite the latent passion for aviation in the Commonwealth, and elsewhere.  So, when you combine some of the best facilities and services available in Hanover County airport (OFP) the widest range of Light Sport aircraft on the market (Tecnam) and add in the wealth of historical perspective represented by the VAHS, it makes perfect sense to work together to support the runaway success of the Virginia Department of Aviation’s Ambassador program.
 
HOVA and Tecnam spokesperson, Phil Solomon, puts it this way:
 “In current economic conditions, with costs constantly on their way up and General Aviation under all sorts of pressure, we felt that a positive vote of confidence in the future of aviation in the Commonwealth was needed and what better way to give that vote than to enable a great scheme such as the Aviation Ambassador Awards to be continued.  As added incentives for participants, HOVA and Tecnam will offer all award winners a free flight in a state of the art Tecnam and the VAHS will donate a copy of their excellent publication, “Virginia Airports”, to each new Ambassador.  HOVA and Tecnam are really proud to be associated with such a respected body as the VAHS and to be able to do something positive for the future of aviation in Virginia.  We encourage everybody to come and see the newly upgraded facilities in Hanover County and catch a ride in one of our Tecnam Light Sports and see why we are so positive about the future of aviation in Virginia.”
